Screwed!!
So, this weekend I went away to hang out with a friend of mine. I had an awesome time, but ended up drinking. Not only that, but I also did not eat too well. So now, my stomach looks like I ate a baby. I wouldn`t feel to bad because I know I just have to eat cleanly and bust my ass at the gym, which is what I planned to do. I started off well yesterday, doing a 4 mile run in like 33 mins. Then worked on my legs and did some abs. I was feeling good and got up and ran this morning where is where is all went down hill. I was running really well on the treadmill for like 15mins at a pretty quick pace of 12.5 when I felt this sudden pain shoot through my lower back. It was really bad, but I was determined to keep going. After a few mintues the pain subsided enough for me to breathe normally again. I finished my 3 mile run in under 25 mins, which is okay. I got off the treadmill and tried to stretch the pain out, but I couldn`t really hit where it was. On the train to work the pain was so bad I thought I was going to pass out and almost got out before my stop, but I made it to work with the help of my Ipod. I sat down at work and could immeadiately feel the pain again. I have been getting up every 5 to 10 mins because I can`t sit in one spot for too long. What sucks is that standing up doesn`t really help too long either. I feel like I have a knife lodged in my lower back and when I sit down someone is twisting it, slowly. This is totally screwing up my workout this week. This is the second time that part of my back has betrayed me. Last time it went away in about a day of resting home and ibuprofen. I hope it doesn`t take any longer. My Birthday, Xmas, and New Years is coming up and I need to be in the gym. This is just most frustrating.
